A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

It's quaint, right?
Not just any guy, but Marilyn Manson, who used to play Paul on The Wonder Years. I'm not sure what was more shocking, learning about this, or learning of Mark Paul Gosselaar's fatal motorcycle crash. Taken from us far too soon.

Shock marketing and the release of hyper gory “banned” vhs tapes was a big marketing tactic for music in the early 90s. There’s a great NIN documentary that covers this.
I wouldn’t be surprised to find out this rumor was somehow disseminated by labels.
